Abstract
The present case–control study aimed to assess associations of routine and experimental biomarkers with risk for cardiovascular death and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a cohort recruited from the multicenter study “Cardiovascular Epidemiology in Russian Federation” (ESSE-RF) to identify experimental biomarkers potentially suitable for expanded evaluation. A total of 222 subjects included cardiovascular death (N = 48) and AMI cases (N = 63) during 6.5-year follow up and matched healthy controls. Seven routine and eight experimental biomarkers were assayed to analyze associations with outcomes using logistic and Cox proportional hazard regressions. Elevated levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), C-reactive protein (CRP), and nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) were independently associated (P < 0.001) with higher risk of cardiovascular death (estimated hazard ratio (eHR) = 1.83–3.74). Elevated levels of NOx and cTnI were independently (P < 0.001) associated with higher risk of nonfatal AMI (eHRs = 1.78–2.67). Elevated levels of angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) were independently associated (P < 0.001) with lower risk of cardiovascular death (eHRs 0.09–0.16) and higher risk of nonfatal AMI (eHR = 2.07; P = 0.01). These results indicated that subsequent expanded validation should focus on predictive impact of cTnI, NOx, CRP, and ANGPTL3 to develop nationwide recommendations for individual stratification of patients with cardiovascular risks.
